Dress Code
BLACK TIE
We are very excited to be having a black-tie wedding. If you are unfamiliar with black-tie attire, please check out this link: https://www.brides.com/story/black-tie-wedding-guest-dress-code-long-gowns
Basically, we are looking for evening floor-length gowns and tuxedos (formal black suits are also acceptable). Please avoid bright colors or flashy patterns. Black is preferable, though dark colors such as olive green or navy blue are always a great choice. When it comes to shoes, black is preferred over brown leather.
If you come from a culture that has specific formalwear customs, such as the Vietnamese Áo Dài, Indian Sherwani, or Scottish Kilt, we would love for you to wear and celebrate that.
Having a black-tie wedding is very important to us, and we hope you will join our celebration by dressing accordingly. Renting is a great option if you do not already own formal attire.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, and enjoy really dressing up.
For all the days along the way
